I've been a casual reader of philosophy since my dad gave me a copy of "Thales to Dewey" when I was a senior in high school.

Either way, one isn't going to walk away from this book knowing a great deal about philosophy. But it might take the scary/snobby edge off of the subject and allow one to more comfortably take up reading a good philosophy book. ( )
